“According to the reports from our people, it should be true!” Matteo Wooler nodded.
“If I remember correctly, the Lord of Black Rock Gorge, Rigoberto Bush, should at least be at the half-step Perceiving Dao Realm, right?” Lydia Wooler asked again.
“With Mr. Billy and his team’s strength, they shouldn’t be able to take down Black Rock Gorge. Did someone else intervene?”
“Yes!” Matteo Wooler nodded. “It is said that two ninth-rank Entering Dao Realm experts assisted them. Both were masked, and their identities are unknown.”
“Two ninth-rank Entering Dao Realm experts, and masked?” Lydia Wooler was slightly surprised but then smiled faintly. “She really has some tricks up her sleeve!”
“Miss Wooler, do you know who they are?” Matteo Wooler was puzzled.
“Who else could it be?” Lydia Wooler smiled again.
“Her?” Matteo Wooler was taken aback but then realized. “What a clever move to kill with a borrowed knife!”
“If I’m not mistaken, the news about Black Rock Gorge capturing Lady Harleen must have been leaked to Mr. Billy by her people.” Lydia Wooler nodded slightly.
After a brief pause, she looked at Matteo Wooler and instructed, “Go find out why Black Rock Gorge captured Lady Harleen!”
“Understood!” Matteo Wooler nodded and turned to leave.
After Matteo Wooler left, Lydia Wooler stared ahead and muttered to herself.
“Matteo, I hope you have nothing to do with this. Otherwise, even father might not be able to protect you!”
Meanwhile, Gerardo Wooler had returned to his residence.
He had just sat down when the gray-robed elderly man from before walked in quickly, looking very upset.
“Mr. Wooler, something has happened!” The gray-robed elderly man looked at Gerardo Wooler and spoke.
“What has you so flustered?” Gerardo Wooler took a sip of tea.
“We just received news that Black Rock Gorge was destroyed by Lord Billy, and Rigoberto Bush is dead!” the gray-robed elderly man responded.
“What?” Gerardo Wooler’s pupils contracted coldly, and the teacup in his hand shattered simultaneously.
“Is the news confirmed?”
“Confirmed!” The gray-robed elderly man nodded.
“Does that kid and his team have such strength?” Gerardo Wooler frowned deeply.
“It is said that two ninth-rank Entering Dao Realm experts assisted them,” the gray-robed elderly man responded again. “Most likely, they are from the Star Palace.”
“Damn it!” Gerardo Wooler waved his hand, and a solid wood sofa nearby instantly turned to dust.
“Mr. Wooler, could Rigoberto Bush have exposed you?” The gray-robed elderly man took a deep breath and asked.
“So what if he did? It’s just the words of a dead man; who can prove it!” Gerardo Wooler sneered.
“Besides, even if I publicly admit it was me, what can a nobody like him do to me?”
After speaking, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. “But this way, it will be much harder to capture those two again. Rigoberto Bush was useless!”
“Mr. Wooler, it’s said that the kid is somewhat tricky. We shouldn’t underestimate him…” The gray-robed elderly man continued.
“He’s just an ant!” Gerardo Wooler waved his hand dismissively and changed the topic. “How many days until the Prodigy List update?”
“Ten days!” The gray-robed elderly man responded.
“Good!” A cold gleam flashed in Gerardo Wooler’s eyes. “This time, I’ll show them who the real genius of the Akabuchi star domain is!”
After speaking, he waved his hand. “Alright, you may go!”
“Understood!” The gray-robed elderly man nodded.
…
In the following days, Billy and his team stayed at the inn to cultivate.
They had plenty of cultivation resources in their storage rings.
In four or five days, except for Billy and Aubree, everyone else had broken through a level.
Casey advanced to the seventh-rank Otherworldly Realm, Azure Fang and Azure Dragon reached the second-rank Otherworldly Realm.
Felicia and Stout both broke through to the Otherworldly Realm, while Vermilion Bird and White Tiger advanced to half-step Otherworldly Realm.
Opal and Amber also advanced a level; Opal reached the fourth-rank Holy Realm, and Amber stepped into the third-rank Otherworldly Realm.
Notably, with Billy and Aubree’s help, Harleen and Ivy completely refined their soul consciousnesses.
As expected, both advanced a level, stepping into the eighth-rank Otherworldly Realm.
Additionally, White Feather’s improvement was rapid; within a few days, not only had its injuries healed, but its combat strength had also increased significantly.
With its current strength, it could fully contend with a first-rank Perceiving Dao Realm expert!
One morning, Billy and his team gathered in the courtyard for a chat.
“Boss, how should we handle that young master from the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce?” Stout looked at Billy. “Should we send Purple Spirit to kill him directly?”
A series of coughs erupted around them.
“Stout, you speak without thinking!” Frostblade responded.
“The Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce has true Perceiving Dao Realm experts, and reportedly more than one!”
“If we kill their young master and they retaliate, how will we defend ourselves?”
“Who cares? Kill him first; we can always go home!” Stout smacked his lips.
“Are you planning to have billions of people from our star domain buried with us?” Ivy glared at him angrily.
“Seems like you’re right…” Stout was slightly stunned.
“We’ll deal with him later; there’s no rush,” Billy said.
Then he turned to Casey and Azure Fang. “Casey, take everyone out for a walk and see if you can gather any information about Kymani Vasquez.”
He had a vague feeling that Akabuchi City would soon face great turmoil.
Since the Holy Ghost Tribe had already made a move, they wouldn’t just let it go easily.
Canyon View Institute posed no real threat to them anymore. If nothing unexpected happened, their opponents would likely come directly to Canyon View City soon.
Moreover, Akabuchi City had an even stronger potential adversary: the Great Blue Star Domain!
That was a giant whose overall strength surpassed even Akabuchi Star Palace!
So he was eager to improve his strength!
Otherwise, with his current combat power, he wouldn’t stand much chance against true experts!
At the same time, he felt that Ancestor of Ravenwood family sending him to Akabuchi City to find Kymani Vasquez might help him improve his strength significantly.
Therefore, it was urgent to find him quickly!
“Understood!” Casey and the others nodded simultaneously.
Just as they were about to head towards the courtyard gate, a beautiful figure walked in from the entrance.
Everyone looked over; it was Catherine Foreman.
Since their last meeting at Canyon View Institute, this was their first encounter. Catherine Foreman had just arrived in Akabuchi City from Canyon View Institute.
“Catherine!”
Seeing Catherine Foreman, Harleen and Ivy were delighted and quickly approached her.
“Harleen, Ivy, are you alright?” Catherine Foreman asked with concern as she looked at them.
She was the eldest daughter of the Foreman family in Akabuchi City. Given her family’s status in Akabuchi City, it was easy for her to gather information.
She had just returned home today when she heard about Harleen and Ivy’s situation. Without even warming her seat at home, she rushed over immediately.
“Thank you for your concern, Catherine. We’re fine!” Harleen responded.
“Catherine, how did you know we were here?” Ivy asked.
“Don’t forget; I’m from Akabuchi City.” Catherine Foreman smiled again.
“And although you’ve only been in Akabuchi City for a short time, you’ve caused quite a stir.”
As she spoke, she walked up to Billy and his team. “Mr. Billy, hello!”
